xelios said:Your intentions here are the only thing that's murky and no one is going to take you seriously when 99% of your claims are obviously false. Do some research; you're making a complete fool of yourself throughout the thread by downplaying all these known and documented atrocities.
There are a lot of hardcore bros who probably jack off to the idea of war and still wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. Anyone who would is probably an amoeba themselves, utterly ignorant like yourself or has more love for the genre than they do self-respect.
This E3 is full of little gold nuggets like this.warbegins said:the only game where i would purposefully drive over an IED
I'm honestly surprised too.bishoptl said:Blackwater apologists? Oh GAF, after all this time you never cease to amaze
Let me spell it. FUCK Blackwater. FUCK them.Chiggs said:Oh, spare me the dramatics.
Like there has never, ever, been a situation where a military contractor, even Blackwater, has acted courageously?

There needs to be some kind of Law like Godwins Law that states "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of someone defending something that does not need defended approaches 1".
You can call it Trojita's Law.
That's exactly the kind of law a fan/defender/apologist would propose! :OLaserBuddha said:How about a law that says that when someone criticizes a distortion of the truth or an unfair generalization of a bunch of people based on the actions of some, that person will automatically be accused of being an apologist/fan/defender of the organization in question.
LaserBuddha said:My only stance is that calling everyone in Blackwater a murdering scumbag is false

Go read up something about these fucks before you say anything. They basically operated above the law and below the radar. Meaning, do whatever the fuck you want and torture whoever you want. Read up on Erik Prince, the fundamentalist Christian Crusading Warrior-CEO of Blackwater (now known as Xe). Are you asking me if Contractors are capable of valor? Why the fuck not. Even Al Qaida soldiers are. Doesn't mean shit.
Chiggs said:Every single person who has, or will, work for a military contractor, drinks the blood of innocent civilians while raping and pillaging their way across whatever country lets them in their borders.
They are all murderers. Every last one of them!
Completely reasonable.
No one is sticking up for any of the bad things Blackwater employees have done, but some are taking issue with calling people "murdering scumbags" en masse.operon said:Fuck some people will stick up for anything

Do you have stock in Xe or something?Chiggs said:Pffft!
Weeee, it's fun to paint in broad strokes! Especially when you have zero real world experience with the subject at hand!
All Blackwater employees operated as a hive mind under Christofascist Erik Prince! There was no disagreement in the ranks. There was no human element at all; just the burning desire to kill as many innocent Arabs as possible to appease Jesus Christ! Heck, that's the reason they were brought in!
We should just rename this place GAF's Defence Journal since there are so many PMC experts here.

s far as the company as a whole goes, surely they've been racking up the convictions for their heinous crimes, right? (Please list these so that we all are on the same page)
You get some bad eggs in almost every major organization out there and people in war are no exception and are more susceptible to that corruption. Some young people abuse the power they have and think they're above the law. Some of the higher-ups even did some very bad things, but that doesn't make every single person that's ever worked for Blackwater scum.Guerrillas in the Mist said:To be fair, UN Peacekeepers could be from dozens of nations, so you're always going to get some bad eggs when there are so many different contingents working together.
yeah and show me the convictions of the supposed "wall street crooks" while you're at it too, poligaffers.Open Source said:As far as the company as a whole goes, surely they've been racking up the convictions for their heinous crimes, right? (Please list these so that we all are on the same page)
